I found error in latest release of GCFScape (1.6.9).
The value 'Size on Disk' in gcf file properties dialog and status bar is negative for file 'team fortress 2 content.gcf'. This probably because real size of this file is more than 2GiB, and you store this value in signed variable. This error affects defragmenting: defrag info doesn't appear in progress dialog, but after some time defragmenting ends and file successfully defragments without corruption. (It's good idea to store all big values in QWORD vars, or in pair of DWORDs =)

I tried to use unsigned integers in HLLib and GCFScape whenever possible, but it seems there are a handful of places where I neglected to. I've fixed these places and will be releasing an update tomorrow.

I'm using Vista Business SP 1 and the extract function seems to screw up the file system. Files and folders "extracted" using GCF scape or another tool from Nem's Tools only appear in Open dialogue boxes. When I try to navigate to the folder using Explorer or CMD it simply doesn't exist.

If I delete the containing folder and use GCFScape it is asif the delete never happend - both the container and all it's children are available through the Open dialogue.

I do not know what is happening but I'm very concerned that there are now files and folders that seem to exist and I cannot see. I've tried all the usual things of changing options so I can see hidden and protected files - I've even gone as far as using sysinternals tools to try and find out what's happening but I've no idea.

I've tried GCFScape on all my Vista boxes and I can't seem to reproduce this. GCFScape just uses the standard Windows API file IO functions to extract files. I have no idea how GCFScape could be directly responsible for the experience you have described.

Could you please add support for the silent hill:homecoming .pak files? They are not the same as the regular .pak files. I think there encrypted somehow. I have been looking everywhere for an extraction program that can read them but so far nothing.I want to see what model format the game uses so I can convert some to use in gmod! I would extremely appreciate it if you could figure out that file format.

Batch validation would be good addition to GCFScape. I needed this feature two days ago when some antivirus after buggy update corrupted my hard disk file system entries. chkdsk is good tool, but GCF validation may be better for GCF files (or to completely calm me down =).

Cn someone explain the object viewer options->exporting tab? I'm hoping theres a way to export a maps textures when using the file -> export -> save as vmf - i.e. I want oto open my hl1 map ravmap and pull it into hl2:dm, I'm wondering if the export from this fine program could dump the textures in a materials/ravmap/ folder and thus the vmt file use these textures - it would be far better than everything on orange!!!

Kind all day! Me it interests here "Error writing C:\root\testapp.exe (Error: NCF files are indexes and do not contain any file data.)". That it means, and what it is necessary to make?
Sorry for my english.

Can you please explain what this is doing?

Hello, I'm having the exact same problem as the one mentioned above, except I'm using Vista Home Premium. The extract doesn't seem to extract anything and Vista doesn't recognize that the folder was created.

However, I seem to have found out the reason why this occurs, though I'm not sure exactly why this would do anything. It appears to be related to the Make New Folder command when attempting to extract files. If a new folder is created using GCFScape, Vista cannot recognize it. But if the files were extracted to an existing folder, then there is no problem.

Unfortunately, there doesn't seem to be a way to get around this, and I'm having trouble deleting the files created because Vista cannot see the files. Perhaps I will try Windows Recovery in Command Prompt.
